Our Approach to Children’s Art

Art means something different for children. For a child, art is mainly a way for them to express themselves. Each child is unique and constantly changing, growing in their perception, understanding, and interpretation of the world around them. Art becomes a language of thought for children, and as they grow, their art expression changes with them.

nice things

parents & students say about our kids art class

My kid totally loves their art class at Chalk n pencils . The teacher makes art super fun for the little ones. The kids learn techniques and get creative in a relaxed setting. My kiddo looks forward to class and has become an awesome little artist thanks to all the encouragement to use their imagination. I’d definitely say check out this art class!

Yanan Li

My daughter has been taught by Ms Kheng for years and she enjoys her Art lessons the most. Art classes at Chalk n Pencils have become one of her most favourite activities every week. Besides having a patient and firm teacher, she gets to do various kinds of art and she likes 3D art the most (specifically clay). She was also intrigued by the use of various mediums like charcoal and came home sharing with me what she has learnt. My daughter has learnt to be creative not just in her art work and drawing, but also in her overall thinking. I am thankful for the art lessons at Chalk n Pencils.

Beverley Tan

My 6yo son has been attending weekly art classes at Chalk N Pencils for almost 2 years now, and he has been enjoying his time there thoroughly. The projects are interesting and varied, new techniques are taught to him, and the teachers allow him to incorporate his interest areas into the artwork. He thinks of it as his happy place. Highly recommended!

Ms Lim

My 3 year old liked his art class very much. It's in a cosy little corner of Katong Point where he interacts with students at his own age group which builds his confidence. The teachers are patient and guide along the art class rather than "spoon feeding" by drawing it for the kids and just having him colour it. Will definitely recommend for a toddler age kid who is interested in art!

Ddjapri

Our family travels back and forth between Singapore and Japan, and every time we stay in Singapore, our children participate in the art classes there. Unlike art classes in Japan, these classes boldly use oil paints and are designed to develop age-appropriate fine motor skills. They create adorable pieces each time, and the children are always very happy and satisfied!

Yuri Makita

My child thoroughly enjoyed the art classes she attended, and I’m glad I chanced upon Chalk N Pencils online. The art pieces were very nicely done, which says a lot about the quality of the teachers.

Geraldine Low

We have tried several different art schools and my kids absolutely love attending the art classes with Ms Kheng and her team of teachers. They do a countdown to their weekly class and take a lot of pride in the pieces they create.

Pauline Lau

My daughter’s love of art has been reignited at Chalk N Pencil. She learns so much at each session. You can see her work constantly improve because of the excellent teaching. We are so happy with the class our son is now joining.

Georgie Hawkins

My son went for a trial at the studio and he enjoyed the two sessions very much. The studio is airy, bright and comfortable. I imagine the whole experience to be very therapeutic, especially after a day of lessons in school. I appreciate the small teacher-student ratio and attention provided. More importantly, the art work was truly created by my son.

CNP Children Art Classes Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions?
We’ve got answers!

We’ve put together answers to the most common questions from parents, so you can feel informed and at ease before joining us in the studio. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just drop us a message - we’re always happy to help.‍

What age can my child start art classes, and what age groups do you teach?

Children can start as young as 2 in our parent-accompanied Tot's N Fam class, and there is no single right age to begin - starting earlier simply means more years of creative play. We teach five age groups: Tot's N Fam (2 to 3 year olds, with a parent), Chalk I for preschoolers (3 to 4), Chalk II (5 to 6), Chalk III for primary school (7 to 12), and Pencils for teens (13 to 17). Each child joins the group that fits their age and stage.

My child is a complete beginner. Will they be able to keep up?

Absolutely! Our philosophy is centred on nurturing creative potential at any stage. Our classes are designed to be supportive and encouraging, allowing children to learn at their own pace. Instructors focus on providing individualised guidance, ensuring that every child, regardless of prior experience, feels confident and successful in their creative journey.

What kind of art mediums and techniques do you teach?

We believe in exposure to a diverse range of mediums to develop well-rounded skills. Our programmes cover drawing, painting (acrylic, watercolour, tempera), sculpture, print-making, collage, and mixed media exploration. Children learn fundamental techniques in line, form, colour theory, and composition through fun, engaging projects.

Do you offer drawing and sketching classes for kids?

Yes. Drawing and sketching are part of every child's regular classes at Chalk N Pencils; rather than a separate programme, we drill. With our youngest children, we put freedom and expression first, because focusing too much on drawing accurately too early tends to limit a child rather than free them. Learning to draw accurately is one skill; the freedom to draw is another, and in the early years, that freedom matters most. As the kids grow, sketching, shading and observational drawing develop naturally alongside painting and mixed media, and our Chalk III (7 to 12) and Pencils (13 to 17) students take them into more detailed studies.

Are all art materials included in the class fees?

Yes, all essential art materials required for the class projects are provided and included in the programme fees. We use high-quality, non-toxic, and child-safe materials. This means you won't need to purchase or bring any supplies, making the process simple and convenient for parents.

Can I join my child during the class?

Our regular classes are drop-off sessions designed to promote independence, encourage peer interaction, and allow children to concentrate entirely on their creative work in the studio. Nonetheless, some parents attend their own Adult Art Class during this time.

Do you offer trial classes before committing to a full term?

Yes, we offer trial classes for children who are new to our studio ($89 for 2 sessions). A trial class is the perfect way for your child to experience our teaching style and environment before enrolling for a full term. Please contact us directly or visit our booking page to schedule a trial.

What are your policies for make-up sessions or cancellations?

Our make-up and cancellation policies are detailed in our terms and conditions upon enrolment. Generally, we offer a limited number of make-up sessions for excused absences, subject to class availability. Please speak to our admin team regarding any scheduling concerns you may have.
